  8. PROPOSED NEW COST SAVINGS • Protect parent-choice district program offerings with higher costs by reducing transportation to elementary HiCap programs (currently at RC and MP) and Room Nine Community School. Alternatives for saving ~$200,000 in transportation are being considered. • Protect athletic programs by eliminating varsity athletic transportation to and from contests within a 15-mile radius (Edmonds and Mukilteo schools and Jackson HS).  (This is the rule of thumb agreed to by all WESCO athletic directors.) Also eliminating return transportation from sub-varsity high school athletics - parents and students providing transportation home from contests.  ~$40,000 savings.

  10. OTHER CHANGES • Categorical programs like Career Technical Education (CTE), Special Education, Title I, LAP and ELL will continue to refine and adjust the staffing allocations based upon program resources and instructional needs. These adjustments can impact various types of staffing from year to year. ~ No cost savings, just allocation changes. • Increase athletic participation fee from $60/student to $100/student = additional $55,000 new revenue   

  11. The Shoreline School District has always believed that our staffing model, particularly at our schools, is a highly valued asset to our educational community. The most recent budget survey results support this belief. In making the difficult decisions over the past three years, the District has done its best to maintain and preserve what we believe is at the core of our reputation in the K-12 public school arena, our unique staffing model.

  12. WHAT SHORELINE HAS BEEN ABLE TO PRESERVE THROUGH THE PROCESS • Full-time librarian at each school site (and classified library media specialist support) • Registered nurse at each school site, during student hours • Family advocate at each elementary school • Security staff at secondary sites • Comprehensive athletic/activity program at secondary sites • Quality music and elective programs
